FSU prof invents a way to know where every cat is located. Great! Now, science can get back to that ebola, climate change and space exploration stuff.

To the cat-tracking professor: If you can track down "Cinnamon," my 10-year-old long-haired cat who hasn't been seen in five years, you've got yourself a believer here!

Bet I could write Proctor's My View if Hawkins gets the boot.

I have my NRA-approved AR-15 with 100-round clip and am ready for my hunting trip to the King Ranch in Texas courtesy of Florida big sugar. What number do I call to set this up?

Scott cut education by a billion dollars, then flip-flopped and made a big deal over increasing education by a billion dollars the next year. Looks like the environment is in for the same ride, if he can get the Legislature to go along with it.

Wow, Scott is all of a sudden big on protecting the environment, and instead of selling off more protected land, thinks we should start buying more. Looks like Charlie is already making changes.

Until every Israeli and every Palestinian take a deep breath and vow to stop projecting their past into the future, there will be no peace.

If Netanyahu wants the United States to stop lecturing him, then may be we can also stop that annual 3 billion dollar aid check.

Has anyone else noticed that squirrels have gotten smarter? The ones in our neighborhood, at least, no longer run back and forth in front of you when you're driving down the street. Guess we ran over all of the dumb ones.

I thought Newt was from Georgia?

While all public employees had 3% of their salaries contributed to their retirement only a handful are part of the union backing Crist. Straight now?

seedless watermelon isn't

I went on the new Pot only diet. So far I've lost a week.

Memo to motorists: Enjoy the pleasures of texting-free college students for a few weeks. It will be December before we will embrace this kind of street calm again!

If you call it the "truck route" your kids will make fun of you. Don't say "Minit Market" either. I could go on & on.

If the main threat to the lovely willets is global warming and sea rise, then why is their population steadily increasing?

Special session to 'fix' district maps. We won't ask how much this will cost the taxpayers.

Scott will probably use the $150mil he promises for the Florida Forever program to buy back the land he sold off last year, with a nifty profit to his cronies who bought it.

Scott admits that he is not a scientist, and the 'Docs vrs Glocks' law shows the legislature is not a doctor. Both would do well to talk to who they are not.

The Sunday headline "Van Camp has Pons' support" may be a kiss of death for him.

After watching a recent political commercial, I couldn't decide who was running for Congress, Bob or Gwen.

A special session to redraw some lines...did these people not learn to color inside the lines, not outside?

Who gives a hoot if some psychopathic murderer is executed painlessly?

You know, "Shameless" would be a pretty good campaign theme song for the Governor, this time!

Nominate yourself or another small business today before the Dandi's blow away!

Hey I really DONT want my child to look at Hardee's commercial, it needs to be on after 11 pm...Please Hardees have some class. Hardee's plus girls washing trucks commercial before 11 pm is STUPID, take it off or move it to late night.

If you got to have a car wask commercial, have kids or teenagers washing cars and taking a break at Hardee's and match dollar amount

One of the few advantages of being 75 is that you don't care if the airport floors are dirty or clean!

John Paul Bailey has great ideas about neighborhood preservation and City involvement. Maybe he should run for mayor. Oh !

If Hamas had a nuclear weapon, it would use it on Israel. Israel has nuclear weapons and would never use them on Hamas. Next subject, please.

"Freedom" for a liberal is freedom of thought and expression; for a conservative, it is the right to pollute and harm others for increased personal profit.

The criminals on death row are often murderers who have committed unspeakable acts. Does anyone really care if their execution is painless?

What's wrong with the new FSU logo? Vinnie from New Jersey with a ridiculously large feather. That will strike fear into our opponents for sure!

Since there are no rules for Israel, there's no future for Palestinians other than resettlement elsewhere.

Nah, J.P., just tear the darn thing down and use the bricks on the walls at Bada Bean and the The Egg so Yordon can feel like he's in NYC without leaving home.

In deference to the special Appalachicolla newts we have around this town, I will mail order,eyes of newts from a special where house in Seattle. Maybe this will calm down the stress at TPD and bring more rain to the Area.

May God bless anyone with the courage to treat an Ebola patient or to strive for peace on earth. They are wounded warriors, too!

My wife says "get a life" but I still wonder why the Democrat obituaries are listed by last name one day and first name the next.

When did landscape guys get the right to park on public streets? I mean they park on and block one of the two lanes of residential streets.

Hearing impaired New Jersey kid opens lemonade stand to earn $ for new hearing aids. Only a matter of time before FDA and IRS SWAT teams swoop in and shut him down. Hope he doesn't carry a squirt gun or other deadly weapon...

If everybody agrees the Immigration Act of 1965, passed during Lyndon Johnson's presidency, is broken and needs to be replaced, why not return to the immigration laws that preceded it, and which served our country so well for over 40 years? Oh, right, those allowed White Christians into the country. We certainly can't have that! I forgot. Sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Dobson! Articulate, to the point, and from the heart! Congratulations for writing a wonderful, informative article. A job well done and appreciated

I've got something infinitely better than life support: wife support!

Why would I need the new FAMU Black News Channel? I already have MSNBC, CNN, NBC and CBS.

Why must the Democrat keep giving space to the self-serving anti-regulation rants of Devoe Moore?

WHATABURGER trash in my front yard today. Guess who just lost some customers?

Good of you to dispense with a downed neighborhood tree at a time convenient for you, Captain Chainsaw. But my vote goes to the city employees who one dark evening responded within 20 minutes to a fallen pine entangled in overhead electrical wires.

Uplifting ecumenical plea by Sharon Rausch, but a more thoughtful dialogue might emerge if these Muslims, Christians and Jews widened their circle to include Buddhists and the non-religious.

can the EPA regulate the amount of coal american exports and imports.

the average american needs to pay close attention and be aware of what is happening in america and why.

input to the 16 member committee on gun violence. steps to end gun violence. step no. 1. significantly reduce the 74% of births to single black women. will share step no. 2 tomorrow.

U.S. coal imports UP(not producing) while exports DROP. china, india, colombia, Indonesia and other foreign entities need to visit our federal EPA Administration and discover the way through regulation to STOP producing coal and save the earth.

That was the Capital Drive-In Theater at four points.

I guess the "most powerful person " in the world isn't the President of the USA but the 51% PM of Israel.

I thought it was "Simon says " not Bebe says that ruled the world. My mistake I guess.

I thought that Israel was a democracy. Where are the John McCains, John Boehner, Rand Paul, John Kerry of Israel?

Israel declares war against the United Nations. Can the USA be the next combatant?

State Employees Union supports Crist. I'm shocked!

I am saddened, even sickened, at how Reggie Garcia has exploited the tragic death of Dan Markel for his own benefit. He takes advantage of anything to get himself PR. For shame!

Paula is making a HUGE assumption about the Floriduh legislature. No brains!

Why is it that every time a doctor is mentioned in the Democrat, he or she has Dr. before their name but I don't ever have Mr. before mine?

The only job Congress works hard at is getting re-elected. That is NOT the job we sent them to Washington do

Better tell Jimbo to watch out for BB guns in those new team apartments!

William Jordan Phelan's letter is right on. Congressman Southerland needs to take a second look at the American (and Judeo-Christian) tradition of welcoming the stranger (especially vulnerable, persecuted, desperate refugees).

Does it seem there is more news reporting on Israeli soldiers than own own service men and women?

Win or lose, when the government makes a mistake, elected officials gerrymander, one branch sues another, it's the taxpayers that are on the hook - is that the personal responsibility that I hear about?

I would rather get a nickel for every time some idiot gets his remarks published in Zing!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho… it's off to vote we go….With a little luck we won't elect a nut…

First Saturday Concerts in the Park -- a contest between performers and numerous non-stop chat groups to see who can generate the most decibels. The performers are losing.

If Marion Hammer shot herself in the foot, could the ER doctor ask her what happened without going to jail?

Waiting on the FBI to finish its investigation surely must have the superintendent on "Pons" and needles.

Dear Bob: if the Democrat's going to be used as an educational tool, shouldn't something be done about the grammatical errors occurring in seemingly every article?

Dear Bob: p.s. maybe you could spend some of the 20% increase in my subscription on a proofreader

Since Ted Cruz"s father was legally a Cuban citizen until 2005 when he became a US citizen, wouldn't Ted (born in Canada) also be a Cuban citizen ?

Are people who like newts called newtists?

Does the "natural born" requirement to be President discriminate against those born by c section?

Suggestion: Give Law Officers bean bag guns once used in practice against each other to use against possible perpetrators.

If Robert Rector (of the Heritage Foundation) wants to help the poor become self-sufficient maybe he should ask corporations to stop sending American jobs overseas.

The efficient use of energy, minimizing polution and maximizing the use of renewables is just plain old common sense.

The article should have listed that Alva Striplin is certified by DOE to teach. I would vote for her in a heartbeat as Forrest VanCamp has had his time and it's all about money. The school board definitely needs someone that has been in a classroom lately.

National News and Inside Edition both played the 911 tape in regards to the Markel response time. Very embarrassing for the city and county. As my old coach use to say: You've got to up your game.

Maybe they should do an investigation on Jimbo Fisher. Yes--Bonasarte or whatever your name is. You should have gone and told him about the e-mail when you saw it. His kid is not special.

I guess there are No Limits to how Low the Entertainment Industry will sink. Now they are bringing out a movie on Mike Tyson, which will no doubt glorify one of the least desirable Role Models and an overall bad actor for our overly stressed AA families.

EMT pros stabilized me on the way to TMH where the best cardiac surgeons saved my life. I've never met a more dedicated helping team in my life!

I did not care what what is going on in this dangerous world but just wanted to know about the western striped newt. Really?

You've done yourself proud America. Many billions for worldwide adventures to "save" corrupt governments, but an unwelcome response to refugee children hoping to escape violence and death!

Like is it where we should do the writ of mandamus thingy to make the Pons, Weatherford, and Gaetz Gangs obey the law? Oh Gummint? Like Nixon? Oh. Nemmind.

Mr. Netanyahu, for 3.1 billion dollars in aid each year we'll second guess you whenever we need to.

To save money on welfare simply raise the minimum wage and we taxpayers can stop subsidizing Corp. America.

About 20% of Americans are hateful, unsympathetic and unChrist-like re the border kids. Last time I checked 20% did not represent a majority of anything. Well maybe my former party, the GOP.

It is clear that the dispatcher though that Betton Hills was a priority 3 instead of a priority 1. For those of you that don't know. Priority 1 means an emergency invoking at least one rich person. An priority 3 means an emergency invoking "who cares". An an priority 2 means every thing in between.

The only way to bring a cease fire to Gaza is to drop a few dozen hydrogen bombs on them.

Is Dick Cheney calling Israel's foreign policy?

Folks--remember that a lot but not all of the homeless choose to be that way because they are on the run from the law or from the ex so they don't have to pay child support.

So--taxpayers are going to pay 2 national speakers to come talk about nutrition to the Leon County school district. Why can't Alan Cox does this since he makes the big bucks? When will all the spending stop?

Sent a letter in May to Vasilinda's office. Have not heard from her at all. This is the type of politicians we don't need.

Bebe must be unaware that Mitt didn't win the Presidency in the last election to demand that the US kiss his tush.

Charlie Crist should have picked John Morgan as his running mate.

This is a momentous day: The introduction of ebola to America. Who's idea was that?!?! I don't remember anyone asking my opinion!!!

Is it true that Pres. Obama rules by Divine Right like the Kings in the Middle Ages, and that God appointed him rather than his being elected by the people?

Michelle Obama and Mayor Marks are not the ones stopping the Jobs bill from coming to floor for A vote, it's the Republicans

Eeeney meeney minney mo catch a tiger by the toe--is that the way Zings are picked?

Last week I dropped my wallet in the Ace Hardware parking lot. A kindhearted person took the wallet inside the store and the staff made sure it was returned to me. Tallahassee is a great place to live with many fine people.

social justice has become a commodity, sold to the highest bidder. A political tool, a political ploy by political parties to gain favor.

We have a bigger military budget than the next 25 countries combined, yet our veterans can be subjected to homelessness.Is the government trying to make my head EXPLODE ? .

Derrick Brooks, Derrick Jeter, Mariano Rivera. Guys who played against you team, but you still liked and respected them. Congratulations big guy .

How many courts, commissions and whatever have to call for Judge Hawkins removal before it actually happens?

It appears the disgruntle FSU football ticket holder does not understand nor appreciate free markets and a capitalistic society.

Yesterday's Letter to the Editor regarding FSU extra seat charge of $300 was right on target.

FSU season ticket holders have to understand, the boosters have to increase pledge levels every year to help pay the legal fees for the football players.

Couldn't agree with Mark more…Carry-ons are out of control. Plus they back up the lines at TSA, oh, I didn't know about the 3 ounce rule; laptop out of the bag, since when? Plus, the unknown rule of only TWO carry-ons per person. Yes ladies, your purse counts as a carry-on. Let's not blame the TSA.

Israel is for social justice as long as it is to THEIR BENEFIT.

There's more than one Tallahassee connection to the Jags' video board. Producer/director Clay Greenhall is a talented young FSU grad.

Do you really think that the 16 member gun violence committee would dare list lack of parental accountability as one of the root causes of gun violence. You can bet the political members WILL NOT.

Mark, I have sent that same letter to Big D numerous times, their answer is 5,000 frequent flyer miles in my account! Your description of air travel past and present is right on!

FSU football tickets. In a socialist government the bureaucrats are GIVEN the best seats. In a capitalistic government the prime seats are put up for BIDS. The HIGHEST bidder wins.

Three former Florida coaches vote their teams (South Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma) over FSU in poll; no envy there

With the combined efforts of the League of Women Voters and Eric Holder we should have a fair election in Florida this year.

Tyler Holt got his first at-bat! He's no longer the modern-day Moonlight Graham! Even tho' he's now oh-fer-one.

What ever happened (and this goes for all schools) to strength of character being as important as strength of body in recruiting college athletes ?

Of course Florida elections are illegal, how else can you keep a non-representative government in power? Keeping the "wrong" people from the polls is vital!

The postal Service can deliver my Waste Pro invoice regularly. Waste Pro pick up can't be counted on. Waste Pro has unseated the Post Office as worst service provider in America!

Perhaps it's not the letter that's unintelligible, but the reader that's unintelligent.

Was it Mark Twain, Will Rodgers, or Larry the Cable Guy who said "You can't argue with stupid"? I'm sure there are still a few Republicans who can answer that question!

Been at 6th Ave and Thomasville for 55 minutes, since 1:35am, Saturday, waiting for a Rhythm shuttle. This is not uncommon, however, so heads need to roll, and not just the drivers'.

Republican legislators arranged Congressional district boundaries to benefit Republican candidates. Everybody knows that. But did you know that those districts can easily be redrawn if legislators follow state law and thus ignore political parties of registered voters and incumbent members of Congress?

Someone who reads both the Democrat and the San Francisco Chronicle has reached the incurable stage of liberal progressivism.

Isn't is so genteel to have a set a rules for war conduct - keeps the humanity in the demonstration of ultimate violence, and the victims must feel so much better.

C'mon folks, admit it: going on vacation is the best thing Congress can do in response to any crisis.

the dispatcher's mistake was that he thought Betton Hills was in zone P3 instead of zone P1. And we all know that P1 means that it involves the rich. P2 means the middle class. And P3 means "who cares". Sounds like a great system to me.

Remind me to never go west on tharpe at 5 pm

When I was a young lawyer, we didn't have cell phones, internet, twitter, or lawyers advertising on the radio 24/7.

FAMU's Mangum is proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Before FAMU's Mangum had created her Sustainability Institute and hired her cronies one would have thought she would have cleaned up the FAMU Athletic Department and made other FAMU Colleges and Departments sustainable.

I didn't know living in Tallahassee required residents to memorize the location of the mile markers on I-10. Seems every story in any form of the media tells us about the accident "...at mile marker 154." How about saying, "..2 miles east of Mahan..." or "...just west of Quincy..." Give us a fighting chance here, will you?

Was that an endorsement for Ms. Miller in this morning's paper or just a very biased article? I always thought endorsements appeared on the Editorial pages, but what do I know?

They may be called "Free Shoes", Free Crabs" or "Free Scooter" University but they can sure play football. Just saying..

Is there any circumstance Marion Hammer recommend NOT waving a gun around? Just one.

DEJA VU ROAD TO WOE: Bradford Road was closed for what seemed forever and has only been briefly reopened. The city's new closure of it triggers a new kind of ROAD RAGE, as in Out-road-rage-ous.

If Wilson had the money to buy a scooter, why did he steal one? Anyone want to guess where the money came from. Football players really do get preferential treatment with the law in this town.

The dating naked series on early night time tv is a viable example of America`s morals going/gone to hell.

If the only tool you have is Marion Hammer, EVERYTHING looks like a possible ban on guns.

Headline: "Fla. Boy, 12 arrested in homeless man's killing". Our problem is too many guns in the hands of the wrong people.

An EMT overdoses on Heroin and it take 19 minutes for an ambulance to get to a gunshot wound to the head in a city with a high crime rate. Sounds like some serious changes are needed!

FAMU needs to create a sustainability development institute to develop innovative solutions to the lack of mentoring in our troubled communities to prevent the occurrence of gun violence and overall crime.

Was Dan Markel a victim of road rage? Tallahassee has become so violent.

Kristin Dozier, typical politician who gloss over the facts to come up with glossy praise not justified. She is a fast learner.

As with the VA will the dispatcher be rewarded, fired, reprimanded or transferred.

400 boys needing mentoring by 400 absent parents. what a pity. could this be one of the root causes of gun violence and overall crime in the city. maybe the solar panels will help.

Sports Page 5 Headline: FSU Quarterback Winston Sent to Room in 2000

the city commissioners should form a committee to make sure the south side parents are abiding by the best parental practices of mentoring their kids.

Amen Royce Lowery!!

I sleep well at night knowing the homeless have homes, the poor and low income folks have food stamps, health insurance, rental assistance, help with insulating their homes, paying their electric bills, no income tax, free education if used. i worry about JOBS to pay for it all.

I tend to put Devoe Moore and Marion Hammer in the same category: people who have gained notoriety for all the right reasons.

Ms. Hammer, ever heard of free speech? Reckon this applies to docs too? And by the way parents aren't required to answer questions, so there is no more invasion of privacy than the question of, " do you smoke around your kids"?

What a waste of precious time if an officer has to assess the situation first before medical help arrives! Minutes can mean life or death if a person is shot they need medical help immediately regardless of situation. That policy needs revamping!
